Countercurrent Biography
Countercurrent is a powerhouse acoustic duo based in Olympia WA, featuring fiddle, guitar, harmony vocals, and foot percussion.
Alex Sturbaum and Brian Lindsay display a musical fluency that comes from a decade of playing together at contra dances, concert halls, jam sessions, festivals, bars, and living rooms all across the continent. When dancers and listeners experience the blend of lyrical melodies, groovy chords, thumping percussion, and vocal harmonies all simultaneously, the reaction is invariably “How does so much music come from just two people?!”
Countercurrent's sophomore album "Not So But Far Otherwise" (2023) embodies the wide range of musical soundscapes this band is capable of, from sweeping immersive arrangements of dance tunes to vulnerable and heartfelt songs; new original compositions and trad tunes reimagined for the modern ear.
